Level 6 Lesson 26 / I thought I would …, I didn’t think you would … / -(으)ㄴ/ㄹ 줄 알다

Hello everyone! Have you ever been watching a K-drama or movie and heard a character say something like, “이렇게 비싼 줄 몰랐어요” (“I didn’t know it was this expensive”) or “제가 뭐라고 말할 줄 알았어요?” (“What did you think I would say?”)? Study this lesson with 현우 and 경은 to learn how to use the structure -(으)ㄴ/ㄹ 줄 알다 to say these things and more!

I EUMSIK MASIL JUL ARASOYO[I THOUGHT THIS FOOD WILL BE DELICIOUS’MAJAYO?I LOVE KOREAN SO I HOPE TO LEARN MORE IN YOUR LESSON,THANKS A LOT

Good job
but you’ve mistaken at the ‘마실 MASIL’

‘마실’ is conjugated form of ‘마시다’, which means ‘to drink’
I’m sure you don’t drink foods XD
The correct one is ‘맛있을’, which is conjugated from ‘맛있다’

so the sentence
“이 음식 마실 줄 알았어요 I EUMSIK MASIL JUL ARASOYO”
means “I knew how to drink this food’ or ‘I thought you -or someone- would drink this food”, and of course these two meanings can be distinguished by intonation.

And I think
“이 음식이 맛있을 거라고 생각했어요
I thought this food would be delicious”
is a lot better, lol

Wow…this is quite useful! Tho I only learned very basic Korean before.
Enjoy this lesson very much!

Last sentence you said “I know it will be not hard”. I think 알다 can’t take meaning of “I think” in present tense, so yes 것 같다 would be better.
선생님들이 도와 주시니까 (or 도와 주시기 덕분에/때문에) 한국어 공부(가) 어렵지 않을 것 같아요. – Thanks to the teachers, Korean studies seems won’t be difficult.
~ㅁ으로 sounds cheesy to me, because I think I saw it only in written stories. But I don’t know…

1) 그 사람은 저한테 선물 주는 줄 알았어요?
– Did you know that he is giving me a gift?
– Did you think that he is giving me a gift?

2) 그 사람은 경주에 창여준 알았어요?
– Did you know that he participated in a race?
– Did you think that he participated in a race?

3) 그녀는 내일 올 줄 알아요
– I know that she will be coming tomorrow.
– I think that she will be coming tomorrow.

4) 그 사람은 싸움한 줄 몰랐어요?
– I didn’t know that he got into a fight.

If there is anything wrong in the above sentences, please do correct me.
Also, in the 4th sentence, I don’t think it’s the proper translation for ‘to get into a fight’. Can anyone please correct me?
감사합니다!!
